15 PPS officers set to get IPS tag

Fifteen Punjab Police Service (PPS) officers are set to get the Indian Police Service (IPS) tag after the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) approved their elevation on Thursday. The UPSC took this decision after a meeting with a team led by Punjab chief secretary Rakesh Singh in New Delhi.

The promotion of PPS officers to the IPS remained on hold due to the controversy over seniority and the officers approaching courts.
